150 supplies + 200 lawn care + 300 equipment (amortised) + 400 services = 1,050/year. DIY-focused gardens halve services and triple supplies to grow plants rather than hire help. Size of garden primary driver.
Run it with sensible defaults
Using supplies of 150, lawn care of 200, equipment of 300, professional services of 400, the calculation works out to 1,050.00. Nudge the inputs toward your own situation and the output recalculates instantly. The defaults are meant as a starting point, not a recommendation.
The levers in this calculation
The inputs — Supplies (annual), Lawn Care (annual), Equipment (amortised), and Professional Services — do not pull with equal force. Frequency and unit price pull the total in different directions. The biggest surprise for most people is how small recurring amounts compound into large annual figures — that's where this calculation earns its keep.
How the math works
Sum of annual gardening costs. The working is transparent — you can verify every step yourself in the formula section below. No black box, no opaque "proprietary model".
Making this stick
The number the tool produces is only useful if you act on it. The simplest habit that works: automate the savings transfer on payday, then spend what's left. Everyone who's told you "pay yourself first" was right; the math here is what makes the first number concrete.
What this doesn't capture
Budgets are snapshots of intent. Real spending includes irregular costs: birthdays, one-off repairs, the occasional bad week. Tracking actual spending for a month before fixing any budget usually reveals 10–20% that didn't make the original plan.
Related calculations worth running
Plans get firmer when you triangulate. Alongside this one, the bank fee annual cost calculator, the ai tools cost calculator, and the annual car running cost calculator tend to come up in the same conversations. Running two or three together exposes inconsistencies in any single assumption — which is usually where the useful insight lives.
